Hello All,

I've advanced 20 years by trading my old Ferguson for an International 434 last week. What a difference!

Right now none of the lights work - the ones that are still intact that is - but that will be a project for another time.

I just purchased the I&T Shop Manual for the 364,384,424 and 444 models - I assume the 434 is somewhat similar. Can anyone tell me if this is right?

Unfortunately this manual doesn't tell me anything about: a) drain plugs for engine oil, transmission and hydraulics
b) fill points for the above
c) filters - air, oil, fuel and hydraulics

Can anyone bring me up to speed (or point me in the right direction) on the above? Bonus points if you can tell me why the front headlights have 3 wires... Or how the horn is wired.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Andrew from TO, the series went B414,434,444,364,384 then discontinued.
We had B414,434 & 384 on our farm from 1962 till about 1991.
You require an Operator's Manual, I have one from B414.
a)engine oil drain is bottom of oil pan, filler is by remove breather cap on top of valve cover. b)Transmission has 3 drain plugs, 1 under the rear casting just above drawbar, 2 under bottom of transmission by front of brake pedal. Filler hole is by gear shift lever, level check plug is on side of transmission case by left brake pedal and foot rest.

c)Hydraulics to drain & change filters you require pictures. Filler plug is back of seat on top of casting. Fill thru filler plug until oil is level with top of housing.

Air filter, can't remember, I know the B414 had an oil bath filter. 434 sucked cold air from up by top of rad to air cleaner.
Crankcase filter is by the engine oil dip stick inside the metal canister. Be sure to remove all old gasket material from the grooves in the filter holder. Use an awl or some other pointed device becareful not to score the metal. The new filter will come with about 3 different "O" rings and you have to determine the correct one for your tractor. If you don't get it correct oil will leak or worse if you tighten to much you will distort the filter mounting assy.

Fuel filter(s) are mounted on upper left side of the engine. Will have to bleed the air out of the fuel system if these are changed.

3 wires going to front, 2 for headlight, 1 for horn but horn may not be installed as it was not a requirement in Canada.

IIRC there was 1 fuse for all the lights. Brown/Black wire is horn, Blue/White & Blue/Yellow are headlight for B414.

Good luck

Hi Jimb,

Thanks for your quick response. I guess I'll have to scare up an operators manual while I'm waiting for parts, time and one bolt to come unstuck (holding the brush guard in place).

Cheers,
Andrew

I found this message board, and was hoping that I wouldn't have to ask the same question about the hydrolic fluid fill.
After searching I found this "silly question" and was pleasantly suprised that my first post would not be asking another silly question.lol

Thanks y'all.
